In the years since Pochettino left, however, Spurs have gradually dropped down the Premier League table under a succession of managers, including Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, Antonio Conte, Ange Postecoglou and, most recently, Frank.
The Dane succeeded Postecoglou in north London last summer, this despite the Australian delivering the Europa League, ending the club's lengthy wait for silverware. However, Postecoglou oversaw a 17th-placed finish last season as the three promoted sides - Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton - all struggled back in the top flight.
Spurs, though, now find themselves mired in a relegation battle and will hope to improve upon their recent nosedive in form. Indeed, Spurs are yet to win a league match in 2026, collecting just four points from their nine matches so far this year ahead of Sunday's game against Fulham.
